Craig H Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I used to think that PAC was the most jacked, gassed up looking dude, the Benoit award of sorts. I think Murphy takes that crown and runs with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could go farther in Japan. 12 minutes ago, Craig H said: He definitely has a Liefeld drawing come to life look to him. This reminds me of the Tanahashi picture which somehow proved Liefeld's Captain America was not total bs in terms of possibilities despite how utterly ridiculous it looked. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Nah, he still looks too anatomically correct to be Liefeld. He's definitely an Ed McGuinness drawing, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey now, that photo doesn't show his legs, how do you know? It would be really funny if he was wearing cargo shorts with a lot of pockets btw 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 So, Wrestlemania. Bray Wyatt faced an established main eventer, goes out of his way to use unusual mind games (involving special effects!), but his opponent no sold the weirdness, hit their finish and won clean in the middle. But which year's Mania am I talking about? Is it more than one, possibly? 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 What amused me about this go-round of that is Orton sloooooooowwwwwllllllyyyyyyy making his way to the ring and posing. He was practically running out the clock. It was probably to allow them time to get the box-like structure ready, but it came off like the most disinterested shit ever. At one point his face read "Why am I here?" like a giant blinking red neon light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 On the AEW fans Discord we were having a sweepstakes on how long we'd be into the show before we heard the opening bell of the first match. And my guess of 20 minutes past the hour looked a safe bet until they started airing a video package after Orton was already out there. Like he was already in the ring, but was still doing his ring entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped getting NJPW World for now but the idea of him in the Juniors division tearing it up with the likes of Takahashi would get me to sign back up immediately. Plus it'd be closer to Australia for him so that would be a win-win situation all-around. 10 hours ago, AxB said: On the AEW fans Discord we were having a sweepstakes on how long we'd be into the show before we heard the opening bell of the first match.

AxB Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Whenever mainstream media tried to cover the Saudi deal, they really tripped over not knowing that The Royal Rumble and The Greatest Royal Rumble weren't actually the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just scrolled back in this thread to see when I posted it and on April 6 - the WWE had announced that MITB was May and Backlash was June So sometime in the span of a week - they changed their minds on the order and apparently felt that had to justify why they were flipping it by adding the Mania attachment. And to go to AxB's point - the more people they can trick into watching on Peacock because they think its Mania, the better (in their eyes) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 My mom called all wrestling “wrestlemania” when I was a kid. She couldn’t tell you what WWF or WCW or anything else was but she knew the wrestlemania name. Maybe they are trying to hit the “old people who call things by one brand name market” I don’t think the rebrand will encourage her to order the show or subscribe to the network. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
